ALS 4 pp. June 4, 1862 Letter from Adelaide E. Case to Charles N. Tenny

Addie muses about her school, 30 scholars from 4 to 17 years old, who study writing, arithmetic, geography, grammar, algebra and orthography, and she lists the names of texts used. She asks Charlie what he thinks of the retreat of General Banks and discusses her views of the occupation of Winchester. She also tells of her feelings of very old and very young men going to war. She says that Laura has visited and told her brother Hal is back in the army and has gone to Columbus.
